Hi Brian, stuntmen are lining up to play you in the movie. Keep your chin up, well at least try and keep it off the deck. Rgds Ivan

Hi Brian.
Sorry to hear that you are still being hit by that curse, the one where one grows older and their balance is going , My wife has one of those Walkers, and i have to remind her about the brake, she shot along the row of books in the Library, I called out "You will never read the covers like that".
Take more care mate, and hope you are well enough to get rid of the transport soon.
Cheers Des

Kong, kit is patently obvious that at some time in your sea going career you killed at least one China man.
Reading your narrative suggest it may have been three or four of them.
I have never read of any one person undergoing such catastrophes as you.
But you have lived to tell the tales, which tells me you are one tough bugger.

Brian, my advice now is that for a while you just take it easy, we want to hear from you again and again and again with good stories and we know you have so many to tell.
Just take vcare.

I think it is the work of the Ju Ju man in West Africa.

In 1953 I was on the TARKWA of EDs, in Sapele Creek, Anchored in the river just jungle around,
I could hear the Mamios singing from their canoes round the bend, "Flash for dash, you dash me , I flash you."
One canoe came alongside our poop.,she was shouting, "Flash for dash" I could not find anything but a 7lb tin of Greengage Jam
I dropped it down into her canoe, it went through the bottom like a cannon ball. The canoe sank , she was screaming, as she swam ashore,
"Ju Ju man he go fixam good for you" she disapeared into the jungle.
The following day we were on Apapa Side, Lagos.. I was on the mast table about 40 to 50 feet high breaking out the Jumbo for a heavy lift. My hands were greasey off the wires and I slipped and fell, hit the deck between the two winches, I broke two legs and my right arm and covered in blood. The Bosun stood there shouting, " Leap aloft again or you will lose your nerve.
I was sent to Lagos hospital until the ship was ready to sail.

So maybe the JuJu man has gone through his records and discovered that he did not complete the curse. and now he has found me and trying to finish the job.
Cheers
Brian

Nice to see you posting again Brian keep going mate. Mind its a wonder anyone signed on if they saw you signing on infront of them Lol

[happy daze john in oz]

All I can say to you Brian is this
What a waste of a good tin of jam.

No wonder the Ju Ju man follows you, they obviously do not like Greengage Jam, prefer Strawberry.
